Foliar application of green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles reduced Cd content in shoot of lettuce
This study investigates the influence of foliar-applied ZnO NPs on the growth of lettuce and its Cd uptake in Cd-contaminated soil in greenhouse setting. Green synthesized ZnO (G-ZnO) NPs (10 and 100 mg/L) using sweet potato leaf extracts were used, and compared to their efficacy commercially available ZnO (C-ZnO) NPs (100 mg/L). Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used for G-ZnO NPs characterization. Shoot dry weight, antioxidant activity, and chlorophyll content were all negatively affected by Cd but positively affected by ZnO NPs application. ZnO NPs application resulted in a no...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1477: Selection and Validation of Reference Genes in Virus-Infected Sweet Potato Plants
We examined variations in the expression of eight candidate reference genes in the leaf and root tissues of sweet potatoes (eight nonvirus-infected or eight virus-infected samples). Parallel analyses with geNorm, NormFinder, and Best-Keeper show that different viral infections and origin tissues affect the expression levels of these genes. Based on the results of the evaluation of the three software, the adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation factor is suitable for nonvirus or virus-infected sweet potato leaves. Cyclophilin and ubiquitin extension proteins are suitable for nonvirus-infected sweet potato leaves. Phospholipase D...

Diacylated anthocyanins from purple sweet potato ( < em > Ipomoea < /em > < em > batatas < /em > L.) attenuate hyperglycemia and hyperuricemia in mice induced by a high-fructose/high-fat diet
This study aimed to evaluate the dual regulatory effects and molecular mechanisms of diacylated anthocyanins from purple sweet potato (diacylated AF-PSPs) on hyperglycemia and hyperuricemia induced by a high-fructose/high-fat diet. The body weight, organ index, serum biochemical indexes, and liver antioxidant indexes of mice were measured, and the kidneys were observed in pathological sections. The relative expression levels of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of fructose metabolism pathway enzymes in kidney were detected by fluorescent real-time quantitative polymerase chain (qPCR) reaction technique, and the expression of renal tr...
